I personally see him as being heavy handed but lacking one punch power like Matthysse, however Chop Chop has been in the ring with him not me. http://********/AmW3oaACNLc Thoughts?
Maidana not a big puncher?

I'm not surprised Corley said that, in truth Maidana's power can be overrated. Maidana can definitely punch though but it's hard to rate him.Comment

Lol he was the inspiraion for the thread, I follow him too. I tweeted Chop Chop about maidana, matthysse and Ruslan power and this is his reply: @CHOPCorley: @Salim_Shady96 matthyess do honestly look at my fights with the other 2 I beat them both ! Just was cheated !Comment

Maidana has a hard time landing flush and scored most of his KOs against lesser opp, at a lower weight.Comment

His straight punches have power but just not enough speed behind them. The thing is, faster more well rounded guys he has boxed can see those straight shots coming and most of the time can avoid them landing flush. His secret weapon and power punch is that over hand right. He has serious power with it and speed. It's just an awkward angle that he throws his right hook which gives him decent speed. His overhand right while the most powerful punch he has is by far the most accurate one he throws. If you are in range and not responding to his feints then he will wreck you with it repeatedly until you are on the canvas. He is a great finisher if he doesn't gas out late in the fight. Maidana when he's in the ring at all times is looking to land that overhand right.Comment
